Early Life

Hometown Roots

Nika Zorjan was born on December 3, 1992, in Petanjci, a village situated near Murska Sobota in Slovenia. Her upbringing was steeped in music, influenced by her grandfather Leopold, an accordion player, and her father Janez, who played guitar in the Slovenian band Nova Legija.

Musical Family Heritage

The artistic environment of her family provided a strong foundation for Zorjan's musical aspirations. This familial connection to music played a significant role in shaping her early interest and development as a performer.

Career Trajectory

Early Beginnings

Zorjan's professional journey commenced in 2010 as a contestant on the inaugural season of Slovenija ima talent, the Slovenian iteration of the global Got Talent franchise. Although she did not advance to the semifinals, this experience marked her public debut.

Eurovision Aspirations

A significant aspect of Zorjan's career involves her attempts to represent Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest. She competed in the national selection process, Misija Evrovizija, in 2012, securing third place. She later participated in EMA 2017 with "Fse" (fifth place) and EMA 2018 with "Uspavanka" (did not qualify for the final). Additionally, she contributed as a backing vocalist for Slovenia in the 2014 and 2015 Eurovision contests.

Record Label Partnership

Following her participation in Misija Evrovizija, Zorjan was signed by Raay, a member of the Slovene duo Maraaya, to his record label, Raay Music. This partnership launched her professional recording career, beginning with her debut single.

Debut and Success

Her debut single, "Čas za nas," released in 2012, achieved considerable success in Slovenia and was nominated for the 2012 Eurodanceweb Award for Slovenia. The subsequent single, "Nasmeh življenja" (2013), became one of the most frequently played songs on Slovenian radio in 2013 and 2014.

Regional Dialect

Zorjan is also recognized for her use of the Prekmurje Slovene dialect in her music, adding a unique regional flavor to her artistic expression.
